Description

Explore a fresh perspective on one of the most significant texts in Christian history. In "Reading Romans with Roman Eyes," James R. Harrison moves beyond traditional dogmatic debates to examine how Paul's letter to the Romans might have been received by an actual audience living in Neronian Rome. By applying a reader-response approach, this study investigates the material and ideological culture of the city from the era of Augustus to Nero. This book provides a deep look into the social context of the time, helping readers understand the environment in which these early Christian messages were heard. Using a wide range of evidence, including inscriptional, archaeological, monumental, and numismatic data, Harrison reconstructs the ideological value system of the Julio-Claudian world. This research helps clarify how the perceptions and experiences of Roman citizens shaped their understanding of the text. This work is an essential resource for those interested in ancient history, social perspectives, and the historical context of the New Testament.
